People in Nairobi as photographed by Kibe Nduni

My name is Kibe Nduni, a photographer based in Nairobi, Kenya. My journey in photography started back in highschool, I'd go out on the weekends with friends and we’d take pictures of each other around town or whatever location that we’d find interesting. I found a lot of joy in photographing people, if they looked a certain way, dressed a certain way as well, this fascinates me as I get an array of really different bodies of work which at the end of the day reminds me why I have this as my career. For now I use a Nikon D750 with a 17-55mm lens but I can use anything. 

Being an artist to me, I believe is being the catalyst between the viewer and the story, playing a part in making stories. Themes and ideas coming to life through photography is a joy and a privilege that I am honoured to have. I believe that being truthful is an important part of being an artist. Staying true to yourself as well as to your work is a fundamental part of creating timeless works of art.
